Already tried it. I started the motherboard on it's anti-static packaging and had the same results: mobo LED and nothing else. Do you think the motherboard could be broken if it's LED is lighting up?

My motherboard led lights up when I turn it on. It might not be broken at all. Did you start with the basic components? Try connecting the speaker on, any beeps at all?

just try one more thing. When my computer didn't even start, my mobo too, had the green light on. But at first, it didn't even budge when I pressed the power button. I thought there were problem with the case, mobo etc. I know how strenuous the situation is. After few installations back into the case, when I pressed the case power button for 4 seconds, the system powered up for like one second and goes down again. All fans worked, cpu fan worked, etc. I was about to RMA the MOBO, but at last, I tried something different. someone said there could be a short circuit on the mobo by the steel of the case. That means the pins underneath the mobo touching the metal of the case or something that connects electricity. You told us that you tried to put insulator on the mobo and tried, but try it again mounting everything on putting non conductive material (rubber, etc, I put hard styloform) beneath the mobo. Make sure you have connected everything to right place. If you get that green light on mobo, it is good to give few more shots to the mobo.

one more thing , don't screw the mobo too tight on the case. I put only 3 screw on the mobo. Be gentle with the screws! Good Luck

If he took out the mobo and no dice, then I doubt the screws are the problem.

I tried insulating it with a rubber pad. Still no luck. My concern is that If I RMA the mobo, I won't get the new part before the RMA time period is over for my CPU. So my question now is: Is there any chance my processor is at fault? (Remember, I have tested all components but the motherboard and Processor. Also, when I press the power button, nothing happens at all, even when I hold it down for a while) Thanks for all of your help thus far. I really appreciate it.

if nothing works, RMA processor and mobo. I also didn't want all that wait. I live in new york city and sending it back to all the way to CA and ETC will take at least 2 weeks. and also you have to pay for the shipping. That was why I really really tried hard to get my machine to work. make sure all your components are on correct place and check the lines that is from the case to the mobo.

On his very first post he said that it turned on, so I doubt he misplaced the power button connector. You will get the computer to start without the CPU or with a faulty CPU, but no video will come on. You can still try to take out the CPU and replace it, seeif that helps. Also, untighten the CPU a bit, onlypress the tab halfway down. Did you do also start out with the basic components as I have said in my previous posts?
